You may also find using plugins for this will help immensely.  SBS gets
grumpy with very large playlists, and the method of "grab a dozen or so
tracks, keep adding to the end and dropping off the start as we play"
works a lot better.

Using Erland's plugins, you can make "dynamic playlists" that are
comprised of parts of your collection, like "All tracks tagged
'Classical' or 'Everything except tracks tagged Explicit or Christmas',
etc.

Then you get the pleasure of hearing tracks you didn't think of playing
(the appeal behind random) without the long load times of an actual list
of all your tracks.

(And, of course, as you add music, it will automatically add it to the
playlists that it qualifies for... not to mention you get playlists
like "Not recently played" and such when you're wanting something new
but don't know what.)
